company code is not valiable for the vendor

Hi All,

I am working on vendor master data.

In the LFA1 table i have one record 'xxx' with the company code '4001'.

When i try to display this vendor in Xk02.It is giving the error message like this company cod eis not avaliable in the system.

Is it possiable to create the vendor without the avalaible company code.

Client wants the explanation from me why it is created.

When i am geeting the data from company code '4401' vendor related to company code '4001' coming in the '4401'.

Can anybody please explain the problem.

Thanks,

Swapna.
